Out of several dozen different uses of laser pointers, I've only ever been able to (easily) see perhaps 3 or 4 of them, plus another small portion if focusing entirely on the game …

I may be an odd one, but I use email for personal things. If messaging a group of people, there's inevitably someone who refuses to get Facebook or doesn't have a smartphone or nev…

There are a few other things that could also impact results. Looking at the experimental design, there could be a good 25% uncertainty in the results because of how it's done at su…

You can have an impact on power consumption at a range of levels. From choosing appropriate algorithms, to switching to different data types, to changing compiler flags. Add togeth…

I currently have about 3 weeks experience with some different formal verification tools (others will know better), but... 1. While large, the system will have a finite number of de…

I'm not sure. This was a fairly quick experiment on an Ivy Bridge processor where the actual results were of secondary concern at the time (it was proof-of-concepting a separate to…

Indeed - it probably isn't ideal. I'd tested a number of sort algorithms (bubble, insertion, quick, merge, counting), so also testing the sort function from stdlib seemed like a lo…

Some work I was doing over the summer indicates that the optimal datatype depends on the algorithm you're using. qsort() can get 15% better performance with uint64_ts than uint32_t…

Depending on how the extension developer feels future development may pan out, requesting access to all websites is the only reasonable way to do it. With how the update system wor…
